The highway re-opened around 10 a.m., according to the sheriff's office. The fire closed M-60 between 29 Mile Road and 30 Mile Road.

The fire happened sometime between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m., Capt. Matt Saxton said earlier.
The back axle of the semi-tanker caught fire, stranding the truck in the
middle of M-60. The fire caused a small explosion. A passing vehicle
was hit with some debris, Saxton said.

No one was injured.

The tanker was empty and there is no threat of a hazardous material spill at this time.
